Today on the show, this date marks the 67th anniversary of the Palestinian «Nakba», or «catastrophe», when the state of Israel was created in 1948. At the time, an estimated 750 thousand Palestinians were displaced from their homes and villages. Tonight, people are invited to gather at 8pm at Mont Royal metro for a Palestine solidarity demonstration, and we’ll hear from one of the organizers, Bruce Katz of PAJU, Palestinian and Jewish Unity.
